Using the Opposites Approach to Change Your Fattitudes

If you’ve tried every weight loss regimen out there and nothing works, Ryan Andrews is about to give you a reality check. Ryan will offer you words of encouragement, but he’ll also tell it like it is: Here’s how you got fat in the first place. If you’re still fat, here’s why. Forget having to weigh out food servings, follow complex nutritional tables, or keep a food diary. Learn the rules for how to get fat and stay that way, no holds barred. If what you want to do is lose that fat, . . . just do the opposite.

Using this “opposites” approach to behavioral learning within a humorous, take-no-prisoners style, Andrews examines our “fattitudes”: habits, dietary choices, and beliefs that guarantee more body fat, less muscle, more risk for disease, and, ultimately, a shorter life span. If you’d rather have a lifetime of better health and lose weight for good, you’ll know just what NOT to do after reading this book.

In their place a new set of weight management skills are provided that include the basic fundamentals of healthy nutrition. Eating whole foods or processed foods, animal proteins vs plant proteins as well as the speed they’re consumed at are shown to make a difference. Embracing lifestyle changes that include eating breakfast, getting more sleep, and exercising for fun are seen as effective strategies that work.

Drop The Fat Act & Live Lean shows readers how the ability to make good decisions on everyday choices is the real formula for success.
